Abhinav allegedly slapped Palak in a fit of rage and has been rash with her since 2017

Ex-husband Raja Chaudhary also reacts to the reports and says he is quite disturbed by it

Shweta Tiwari and Palak have been in the news since yesterday after reports of the two filing an official complaint against Abhinav Kohli started doing the rounds. Abhinav allegedly slapped Palak in a fit of rage, and under the influence of alcohol. Palak also put up a post last night clarifying that she was a victim of domestic abuse and not her mother. She also wrote about how “he did persistently make inappropriate and disturbing remarks the impact of which is only known to my mother and I, and if any woman from any walk of life were to hear them she would be greatly embarrassed and provoked too.”

Palak’s biological father, Raja Chaudhary, also reacted to the reports and told ETimes, “I learnt about it through the media. I have been in touch with my daughter and checked on her this morning. She told me not to worry and that she is fine. It’s very disturbing for me as a father.” Another daily quoted Raja saying, “I do not know how low he stooped to outrage her modesty but I texted my daughter who responded to my messages saying she was 'okay' and that I 'need not worry'. At present she is reeling under mental agony but I will speak to her to know the details in a few days. I am not sure what legal support I could extend to my daughter but first I need to speak to her and then I will contact my legal team to safeguard my daughter.”

A police officer told a daily, “The young girl stayed quiet and endured the harassment from 2017 to 2019 as she thought it was a family matter and things would get better. But when she could not take it anymore, she confided in her mother on Sunday. Her mother immediately brought her to the police station around 1.45pm. The two were at the police station for several hours as the girl narrated her ordeal in detail.”

Abhinav’s mother has also come out in support of her son and said that her son is innocent. She added that Shweta wanted a divorce whereas he wanted to be around all his kids. She also said that it was Abhinav who took care of Palak when she was in the Bigg Boss house for all those months. Stay tuned with us for more updates.
